SERIOUS DISTURBANCES IN THE FIELDS.

WIPING OUT CORRUPTION.

Rio de Janeiro, Yesterday. The diamond fields of South America, which have been centres of disturbance ever since 1918 when a German prospector found the first gems in the Araguaya River Region leading to an influx of adventurers from all over the world, have been the scene for two months of guerilla warfare recalling the old time American-Indian fighting,

The native diamond prospectors of Matto Grosso, finding they had been paid counterfeit money for weeks of laborious prospecting in |fever-ridden jungles, decided to

wipe out the boss prospectors.

They burned down hamleta, massacred the inhabitants and am-

committed daily robberies and murders.

The public is particularly warned against the practice of send-bushed individual prospectors, and ing coin through the post in letters. The practice besides Involving risk of loss is directly in contravention of the Post Office Ordinance and the P.M.G. may be compelled to take proceedings under that or
